^ Interesting description, I've never heard or thought of them as being anything like Karnivool, but if this is the first Five Star song you've heard then I can see the link due to this being one of the more 'melodic' and mellow songs on the album. The album this is from (their 3rd) has gone back to be a little more like the first in that the songs have more timing changes and more melody.

^ I'd f**king hope people still buy music when it comes to quality new bands or lesser known artists. I use the net to find new music & artists I like then go buy their album as I don't like the idea of taking the food out of their mouths so to speak. That said, I couldn't give 2 shits if people download Rihanna or Katy Perry as they'll make more than enough from the legions of halfwits on this earth to cover a few thousand illegal downloads.

Yeah I'm the same. It gets annoying when the mainstream shit gets supported but a lot of people with real talent get forgotten about.

I'm loving all these progish metal bands that are coming out lately e.g periphery, AAL, Tesseract, these guys... you can see they're all drawing from the same core influences but they're feeding off each other too.

I find the whole modern hardcore genre very cliched and formulaic. Intro, verse about overcoming adversity, blast beat before breakdown, grunt, self reflective chorus and that f**king over enunciation of every 2nd word gives it a shitful twang. I don't quite know how to describe the vocalisation i'm talking about but it makes everything sound as if it has an 'ay' sound in it.

I think PWD and NOFX over lapped each other by 30mins, so I would have seen the 1st bit of PWD and the would have gone to see NOFX, cuz I have never seen them live but have seen PWD so many times I lost count.

I use to see PWD back in the day when their shows cost like $15 entry and all they play was theie EP "Don't Closes Your Eyes" with old base player LOL!

Now you gota pay $35+ to see them cuz they all big time metal band now haha!!

Damn Sound Wave and No Sleep Till, always played on a Friday in Melbourne.
